August 8, Geeking Out: Mind Tricks

Join Gelf at The Gallery at LPR on Wednesday, August 8 for an evening devoted to the study of tricking the mindand a magic show! Alex Stone, author of Fooling Houdini: Magicians, Mentalists, Math Geeks, and the Hidden Powers of the Mind, will discuss his book about the culture of magic and the theoretical and cognitive underpinnings of illusion, and perform a magic show. Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist at NYU and expert on intelligence and creativity, will discuss unconscious intelligence and what we don’t know about what happens in our minds.

Please bring your friends and spread the word to lovers of psychology, science, magic, and general deception.
